Any version of CM7 that doesn't? Looks like cm 7.1 rc1 does it as well (steel droid).

need wifi. Fail?

I have no problem with wifi. Do you wipe dalvic and cache when you flash updates?
That's the minimum to do. If you are coming from a different ROM entirely then anything less than a full wipe is risky.

Nightly 9-30 has borked my D1 and my DInc2.
D1 would not even begin the update in recovery, just froze. Battery pull and now it won't boot. Stuck on M logo.
Booting into recovery gets me the top level menu, but any selection leads to a blank screen. Press power from the blank screen and you're back at the menu.

Managed to get the Dinc2 restored, but now have no network available, only wifi.
Crap.
